Going Global travels well, takes China Doll

The Irish-bred filly Going Global is right at home at Santa Anita.

On Saturday, Going Global remained unbeaten in the United States, with a victory in the $100,500 China Doll Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at a mile on turf.

Going Global won her American debut in the Grade 3 Sweet Life Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs on turf on Feb. 14.

Ridden by Flavien Prat, Going Global ($4) closed steadily from fourth in a field of six to take the lead in the final furlong, winning by three-quarters of a length over 10-1 Closing Remarks.

“From the get-go, I could feel she had settled down and was traveling well,” Prat said.

“I thought she ran well last time and gave me confidence,” Prat said.

Quattroelle (9-5) finished third, followed by Sweetest Angel, Golden and Bleu Ballon.

Closing Remarks won the $201,000 California Cup Oaks for statebreds at a mile on turf on Jan. 16. Quatroelle won the $80,150 Blue Norther Stakes at a mile on turf on Dec. 31.
